2 Claims.

Our invention relates to attachments for stoves, and more particularly to illuminating attachments for use on cooking stoves.

One object of our invention is to provide a lamp reflector holder of such form that it can be readily attached to various types of stoves in such manner as to illuminate certain portions of the stove.

Another object of our invention is to provide a combined lamp support, light reflector and spoon holder of simple and compact form.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stove, with our attachm'ent applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a sectional view, on an enlarged scale, of the attachment of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a rear elevational view of the attachment, and Fig. 4 is a plan view thereof.

The attachment is shown as applied to a stove shelf 5 in such position that light will be reflected upon that portion of the stove which may otherwise be shadowed for some reason. The lamp may be employed also in lieu of a high-powered ceiling lamp, and can be of relative low candlepower, thus economizing on electrical current.

The attachment includes a bracket 6 having upper and lower portions 7 and 8 that respectively extend above and below the shelf 5. A strip or strips 9 of felt or other soft material are employed on the underside of the extension 1 so as to avoid marring the top of the shelf when the bracket is secured in place.

Clamping screws 10 are threaded through the extension or extensions 8 so that they can be turned into clamping position against the underside of the shelf 5, and therefore securely and detachably hold the bracket in place.

A supporting collar l I is secured to the underside of the bracket portion 8 by means of screws 12, the collar ll serving to support a lamp socket l3 that carries an electric lamp M.

A reflector I5 is secured to the edges of the bracket 6 by welding or in any other suitable manner, and has a pair of slits at its upper rear side. The portion l6 between the slits is deflected outwardly so as to permit the insertion of a tongue I? that is carried by a holder H8. The tongue I! may be welded or riveted to the holder l8, so that the holder can be readily inserted into and removed from the reflector.

The member l8 serves as a holder for cocking spoons, forks, or other utensils, at a point readily accessible by and easily visible to the cook. The holder has notches l9 at its outer end for receiving the handles of spoons or other utensils.

Near its inner end, the holder is dished as shown at 29, and not only serves to support the bowl of a spoon or the prongs of the fork, but will catch any drippings therefrom.

We claim as our invention:-

1. An attachment for cooking stoves and the like, comprising a bracket of channel-like form arranged to embrace the edge of a shelf, a shelfclamping element carried by the lower flange of the channel, a lamp socket secured to said flange, and a reflector secured to the rear edge of the upper flange of the channel and extending forwardly and downwardly to a point spaced forwardly of said socket, the reflector being of such dimension and so positioned as to conceal the bracket and socket from view at a plane above the structure.

2. An attachment for cooking stoves and the like, comprising a bracket of channel-like form: arranged to embrace the edge of a shelf, a shelfclamping element carried by the lower flange of the channel, a lamp socket secured to said flange, and a reflector secured to the rear edge of the upper flange of the channel and extending forwardly, the reflector being of such dimension and so positioned as to conceal the bracket and socket from view at a plane above the structure.
